Well, you know me – I have no time for religion. Away with all that mind-numbing idiocy. Having said that, I do want to say that I thought that Rowan Williams got it spot-on when he said during the General Synod’s debate that:
"I am deeply unhappy with any scheme or any solution to this which ends up, as it were, structurally humiliating women who might be nominated to the episcopate."
Amen to that. What staggers me is that there are clearly people – some of them women – who believe the exact opposite. It almost beggars belief – but then I realise, yup, it’s simply religion, wending its merry way through the human psyche. Just keep out of my head, thank you very much.
